About this ebook

Veteran police chief Eli Gallagher doesn’t ask for much, but he does insist that his officers uphold the “serve” part of “serve and protect.” Conscientious young Deputy Stan Leach takes Eli’s motto to heart, maintaining a high standard of personal accountability.

When Eli’s long-distance boyfriend, Gilbert Nees, telephones from Philadelphia, Eli thinks he intends to further cement their relationship. Unfortunately, Gilbert’s news is anything but good. But Eli doesn’t have time to wallow, because a violent act results in murder in the small town of Morristown, Mississippi.

But as Eli and Stan uncover evidence, their personal lives begin to unravel. Stan, working closely with Chief Gallagher, grows increasingly attached to Eli and learns what it really means to be an advocate of justice.

Ratings and reviews

This ebook got to the end and totally surprised me. I literally waited years before purchasing this ebook. There had been no action, no real plot. It read just as though a bunch of people were gossiping about affairs in a small town. The California Penal Code reads more exciting than this ebook. I was still waiting for the book to get into 1 steady "plot" and for some action to happen, right up to the end of the book. Huge let down! And I rarely give a negative review. But I hope the author connects with me on Facebook so I can explain my review to them in depth.
